church sound mixing

If there’s one complaint that pastors and sound techs hear the most, it’s this: “Worship is too loud!” Unfortunately, the issue is seldom a volume control problem. Before sound techs and worship pastors can arrive at a positive solution for solving volume levels at church, it is important to cover some basic insights for acceptable and unacceptable volume ranges.

Whatever the method or capacity for projecting the message, our church sound systems can be a blessing and a curse. How do we keep the environment from sounding like a goose getting sucked into an oversized vacuum hose or the equivalent of an audio apocalypse from the feedback of a 1,000 hearing aids at a geriatric convention? Glad you asked.
